Precaution In Case of war.

New York, Feb. Interviews with
leading bankers to-day developed the fact
that banks now generally require that de-
mand notes be made payable in legal tender
other than silver. This is understood to be a
precautionary measure in view of the posi-
Bile disturbance of coin in the event of war.

Round to Miss Van Zandt

Through His Brother He Is Legally
Bound to Miss Van Zandt.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The labor organ of this
city states that August Spies was married by
proxy to Nina Van Zandt last Saturday night
in the Office of Justice Engelhardt in the town
of Jefferson few mill from this city. Spies
was represented by his brother, Henry W..
Spies. Justice Engelhardt had given the
parties interested an opinion to the effect
| that marriage by proxy would be binding
in law if the proxy was legally made. He was
commissioned to draw form of proxy which
was taken to August Spies in Jail and he
signed it, in the presence of four witnesses
| By the document he gave full authority to his
bratheYH Henry to represent him at the mar
| riage ceremony. 1t is state that Miss Van
| Zandts parents were present at the ceremo-
ny by proxy Miss Van Zandt's object in
| having this questionable ceremony per-
! formed, it is stated, is to be able as Spies
wife to visit him in the county jail. Justice
Engelhardt in an interview confirmed the re-
port and admitted that he performed the
| ceremony. Miss Gretchen, sister OF Spies,
| also admitted that the statement was true.
The Bay states Cry for Protection.
BOSTON, Feb. 1.-The following resolu-

afternoon by Senator Morss of Canton:
Resolved, That the legislature of Massachu-
| sets now in session respectfully represents to
the Congress of the United States that the
| port of Boston, the capital of the State, and
| other ports and harbors of this common
wealth have no suitable or proper fortifca-
lions for their defense from the naval appl1-
ances of modern warfare.
Resolved, That in view of these facts, dis
graceful to nation of bou ndless resources
and sixty millions of people, and believing
that in the time of profound peace is the
time to prepare for and thus avoid war, the
legislature of Massachusetts requests our
Senators and Representatives in Congress to
urge upon the government of the United
States the imperative necessity of new addi-
| tional and modern defenses to protect the
commerce, lives and property of the cities of
this commonwealth and of the country; and

L. Stoddard at Carll's Opera House. "Peter

BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The attraction for thu last three days of

GA Practical Joke" Harry LIE Clair and w.
J. Russell take the principal roles. Mr.. LIE
Clair impersonstes FIVE different female
characters, with different costumes and dia-
lects, and distinct individuality of character
izations, with wonderful fidelity to their
dramatic requirements. This gentleman has
received high praise wherever be has appear
ed for his approximations of the gentler sex.
The supporting company is said to be an ex-
oellent one. The last performance of ''The
Shadow Detective" takes place tonight.
The charming snake charmer is attracting
much attention from the museum frequent
ers.
THE IVY LEAF.
''The Ivy Leaf at the New Haven Opera
House last evening attracted large audi
ence. The play is a very pretty Irish drama
of more than ordinary merit and is presented
with some quite elaborate scenic and meohan-
ical effects The company is very good one
and there was not member Of it who did
not receive share of the applause. Mr..
O'Rourke as "Murty Keerigan" sang some
new Irish songs quite we'll, though
suffering from a severe cold, and enacted the
part of the true-hearted Irish lad very sue
cessfully. Mr.. Mccarthy as ''Darby Flynn"
sang old Irish songs and danced old Irish
dances with Miss Kitty Coleman in response
to several encores. John F. Ward as "Den-
mis- Donovan" and Mrs. W. r.. Power as
'tMaureen Deelish' also deserve special men,
ton. "The Ivy Leaf'' will be repeated this
evening and will doubtless draw another
large audience.

THE COAL HANDLERS STRIKE.

Working People To BE Advised TG
Pay No Rents-The Situation at The
Piers.
NEW YORK, Feb. AT a meeting OF
District Assembly No. 40 to-day a PROPOSE
ton was made to direct all the working peo-
pie of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City
to refuse to pay any rent after next Saturday.
The proposition was seriously considered by
the leaders and will probably be adopted The
Ocean association, after paying off needy
strikers, to-day issued an appeal for aid to
the public. Reports were received showing
that railroad men on all roads running into
the city were willing to strike to assist their
brethren. The City of Para succeeded
in sailing at three o'clock, but the Erin of the
National line, which ought to have sailed
on Wednesday last, is still at her dock. Six
ty men went out at the Morgan line. Eight
cen left the Old Dominion. Twenty left the
Rhode Island of the Stonington line
and the boat did not sail tonight. The
same state of affairs is noticeable on
the Norwich pier. Twenty men struck at
the Fall River pier and notices are displayed
at all piers: fFreight accepted only subject
to delay on account of the strike''
1t is rumored that two Italians are buried in
a cargo of wheat in the hold of the steamer
Pennland, now en- route for Antwerp. Ac-
cording to the report six Italians with six
shovels went down in the hold of the yes
sci to trim the grain. Six shovels
and only four dealers are said to have come
up. The strikers say the missing men are
packed away safely and will need the service
of the coroner when the vessel arrives at
Antwerp
The Knights of Labor have decided to
offer reward of $500 for the detection of
the person or persons who attempted to de-
stroy the Old Dominion steamer Guyan-
dotte. It being a question affecting the
treasury it cannot come up for action before
Sunday when the resolution to offer the re
ward will be offered.
